Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2023

Size: 0.9"x2.6"x5.9"Color: Black, SilverVerified Purchase

Called to find out what the cost would be to run a 3440x1340 resolution monitor from my laptop. My sales person told me there were several ways to get there but the best and cheapest was to get a super HD cable to link my existing computer and monitor. That was more info than I got from HP, the maker of my laptop! They had me believing I’d have to upgrade my laptop! $30 vs $2000.
I have been using StarTech products for decades so as a reward I purchased their 7 port USB port replicator. Their stuff just works and last for years.

Works Great With Mac Studio M1

Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2022

Size: 0.7"x0.6"x1.7"Color: BlackVerified Purchase

Mac Studio M1 only comes with 2 Type-A USB ports on the back. This adds an additional 4 without having to buy A-to-C adapters for all your legacy devices. And my experience with StarTech is that it is built with quality and made to last (instead of all the other no-name junk adapters that fail in 6months to a year)

It is great, lightweight and compact. then it quit working. I called Amazon, and found that since it is past 90 days I could not return it there, but Carla called StarTech and connected me to StarTech directly. Brent did a great job of troubleshooting the unit with me and determined it was defective. I will be receiving a new replacement product shortly. Thank you for great customer service Amazon and StarTech.

Works with Oculus Rift on Alienware 17 R5.

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2019

Size: 0.7"x0.6"x1.7"Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I bought this to connect the Oculus rift to an Alienware 17 r5 laptop. The Rift needs 4 high speed USB 3.0 ports for room scale and this connected to the USB 3.1 gen 2 thunderbolt port on the back to serve the purpose. Works flawlessly after some tweaks to Windows 10. I had to tell windows to not sleep or go into low power states on the USB ports in the power settings and the device manager. After these adjustments the sensors we're recognized by the Oculus software as 3.0 and passed the setup. Prior to changing the Windows 10 settings the Oculus Rift setup failed, one to two sensors showed as USB 2.0 and sometimes all three had issues.

Can't handle four external USB drives

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2023

Size: 0.7"x0.6"x1.7"Color: BlackVerified Purchase

Bought the 0.7x0.6x1.7 version

Plugged in four WD external USB drives to this hub. Plugged the USB-C end into my 10gig USB-C port in back of computer. Drives come up then go down then come up and go down again. Windows is saying the drives have errors and then they vanish from the system.

I plugged in my old USB 3.0 hub back in which is external powered and the four drives work fine again.

So this hub can't handle four USB external drives. Each drive has its own external power by the way.. I'm not stupid and think the hub will power them through the port.

A great way to add fast connections to a MacBook Pro with Type-C ports, plus connections for Type B cables as well. The ports are powered, so they work great with portable hard drives.

USB-C Hub - 4X USB-A Ports - 10Gbps

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2019

Size: 0.7"x0.6"x1.7"Color: BlackVerified Purchase

Plugged into Motherboard ( X470/Ryzen 2700X ) USB-C port , all 4 USB-A ports test at 459.1 MB/s Read and 453.1 MB/s Write with a Samsung 860 EVO 500GB mounted in a Vantec NexStar USB 3.1 Gen 2 external enclosure ( NST-270A31-BK ). Thats ALMOST what the drive gets hooked up directly to a SATA III port, and in an actual transfer...I transferred a 45GB folder of 4K and 1080P movies that was on the drive...to the 1TB NVMe boot drive on the motherboard. It transferred at 405 MB/s for the entire transfer, no buffer shenanigans...just straight raw speed for the entire transfer. Awesome little hub here !!!

Je suis content de cet achat.
Son défaut relatif est sa praticité pour tout ce qui est connexion avec un embout C qui oblige à recourir à un adaptateur générateur de contraintes verticales ou horizontales et de perte en ligne.
Sinon je le trouve esthétique, pratique si le besoin d'achat qui l'a généré est bien d'avoir plusieurs usb A à 10 Gbps.

BEST HUB FOR PS5! TRUST ME IT IS WORTH EVERY DOLLAR! =)

Reviewed in Canada on March 14, 2021

Size: 0.7"x0.6"x1.7"Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I searched and searched everywhere for a hub that would be compatible with my PS5 console because after only owning it for two weeks one of the ports broke on the back of the console.
If you’re looking for a hub for your PS5 then this is the one for you! Usually you can only plug the Sony HD Camera directly into the console for it to work well this hub works for it as well as fast charges my headset and controller.
I have my keyboard, camera, headset, and charge cable for my controller plugged into the hub and everything works the way it’s supposed to.... I am extremely happy.
